I bought this tripod for a limited, specific purpose and therefore didn't want to spend a lot. I have another very nice, very expensive tripod for my heavy cameras and didn't expect much quality from this cheap one. However, I was surprised at how much I actually like this tripod. The weak part (for some purposes) is that it is very lightweight and wouldn't be so great for my DSLR with a big heavy telephoto on it. But since I'm not using this tripod for that purpose, it is perfect for my needs and its lightweight nature is a bonus. Other great things: Super well thought out design, it even has a carrying handle, which I find fantastic. Easy adjustments, easy to open out or close the leg lengths and easy adjustments overall. Nice carrying bag. However, the first tripod I received had issues with the legs and two of the legs wouldn't extend all the way out and seemed to be stuck in the short position. I sent it back as it was obviously defective. The second one I got was fine. You just can't beat the price for such a great tripod, and if you want to put smaller cameras or other lightweight things on it, it really is a surprisingly good design with features I didn't see on other tripods including some more expensive ones. I would definitely buy it again!

It's great 👍 Very lightweight and portable but it may get damaged easy with a lot of use? A lil Flimsy. I bought it to video shoot a parade on the 4th which had a changed route but, I found it easy to turn My DSLR camera 📷 on its mount while Filming 🎥, I'd buy another.

I’m impressed with the quality of this. I literally only took one star because I paid for new and received a return. The packaging told a story. It feels amazing, not heavy but not “cheap light”. It positioned my camera perfectly and had several different angles and positions. It’s tall enough for every shot. Great price for such a product. I only took a star for the used item i received, if it were not such a good item I would have sent it back.

Picked up this Amazon Basics 50-inch tripod because I needed something lightweight and easy to throw in a bag for day trips, and it has been perfect. Setting it up takes absolutely no time at all, and the adjustable legs glide smoothly so you can get the height exactly where you need it without any fuss. The quick-release plate is a massive bonus, letting me snap my camera on and off in seconds without having to constantly spin and screw it into place. For such an affordable, lightweight aluminum stand, it feels surprisingly stable and holds my gear secure without any annoying wobble. It’s exactly what I was looking for straightforward, highly portable, and reliable enough to get the shot done without weighing me down. If you want a hassle-free, budget-friendly travel tripod that just works, I highly recommend this one.

I have been a run of the mill character dabbling with video and camera equipment here and there for at least 10 years. Nothing serious, I mean I have owned a number of compact cameras and 3 or 4 video cameras, all run of the mill consumer items. For different activities and at one time or another I have also had different accessories to go along. One thing that most anyone can justify is owning a tripod, and I have owned a number of cheap tripods over the years. But these cheap tripods fit the bill for my needs at the time. Recently I purchased the most expensive camera I have ever owned, which is still just an entry level basic DSLR. (Nikon D5300). I ordered this stand with the camera, and I was dismayed from the moment that I unboxed it. The Nikon is only a $900 camera and lens, but that is still way too much money to go setting on this stand. Aside from the fear I have of the possibility that the the shoe might accidentally get sprung out of its seat, stability is not this tripods strong suite when you are trying to take pictures. This tripod is suitable for compact cameras, internet cams, maybe small video recorders, handy cam type stuff. This stand IS NOT suitable for even the cheapest entry level DSLR cameras. If you are going to spend $600 to $1400 on an entry level camera setup, you owe it to yourself to buy a decent tripod. Something in the $100 - $150 range at least. I ordered a Manfrotto mono pod and will likely get a proper Tripod a bit later on. I was about to ship this stand back for a refund the same night it came when I found a job for it at which it excels and makes it well worth the price. I mounted my external flash on it and it is perfect. The tripod gives you the ability to hold the flash in nearly any position you could ever want. (For a total armature). You don't need to worry about vibrations or anything else when all its doing is sitting quietly in a corner holding your Flash. As well, it's a pretty darn good Mic stand as well. My rode Mic pro mounts to it as well and for that reason, I think I am actually going to order a second one for the flash and the Mic. What makes this tripod so excellent for these duties is precisely because they ARE so cheap. If you need a fast cheap way to hold multiple flashes, and maybe a mic or two, it's hard to see how you could get anything better for the price. Compared to other tripods in this price category, (I have owned a few over the years), this one is actually a pretty good. I can't say that its the BEST of the cheap stands on the market, but it is certainly better than all but maybe one other stand that I have owned, (for cheap stands). I would say this stand is suitable as I said previously, for small compact cameras, net cams, small handy cam type video cameras, external flash's and mic's. This tripod will give you some pretty good flexibility. However this is not the stand you want for even entry level DSLR camera and video equipment. So,,,,4 stars for small consumer products, 4.5 stars for external flashes and mics, 1 star for it's advertised 6.6 lbs capacity for cameras and Video equipment. If you average those starts out, I think a 3 star overall rating is fair.

I picked this up expecting it to collapse under my camera like a soggy noodle, because that's the story with budget tripods. Happily, it proved me wrong for most everyday use. The legs lock firmly at multiple heights, the quick-release plate is easy to use, and it folds down small enough to slide into the included bag without a fight. Setup takes about thirty seconds. For casual photography, video calls, group shots, or light camera work, it genuinely delivers. That said, it does have limits you should know about before buying. The pan-and-tilt head can drift slightly under heavier camera setups, so if you are mounting a DSLR with a heavy lens, tighten everything firmly and test before walking away. The center column crank feels a bit light, and extending it fully adds some wobble. Keep the center column low and you will get better stability. For the price, this is outstanding value for beginners or anyone who wants a functional tripod without spending serious money. Just treat it like what it is: a solid entry-level tool, not a professional workhorse.
